My Hershey car show prize!
#11

37silverstreak Wrote:I am just intrigued as to the story behind it, i.e. how was it marketed and how was it available to customers? The matching colors indicate it was intended for this very model set, which would mean there would probably be different colors for the other models as well. So, was it made available through a Philco dealer or mail order or department store? Who knows? For me it just makes it more interesting.

Same here. I imagine the guy purchased the radio, speaker and stan altogether. Maybe a promotion? As I said, I don't know the collectible value of aftermarket furniture but this somehow intrigues me more than aftermarket cabinets or modifications.
